[in vacuo] = in vacuum = in isolation and without reference to anything else

Example:

The latest benchmarks show that this simulation technique is 50% slower than the one in vacuo simulation.

[in vitro]

cultured in laboratory condition

[in vivo]

in living organism

[in silico]

performed on computer or computer simulation

[in situ]

[ex situ]

Ex-situ conservation means literally, "off-site conservation".

[de facto]

"concerning the fact" or in practice but not necessarily ordained by law
The term de facto may also be used when there is no relevant law or standard, but a common practice is well established, although not universal.

Example:

The proposed algorithm by Alen has been the de facto routing algorithm in network. [A de facto standard is a standard (formal or informal) that has achieved a dominant position, by tradition, enforcement, or market dominance. It has not necessarily received formal approval by way of a standardization process, and may not be an official standard document.]

[de jure]

by law

[per se]

used to refer to something that is being considered alone, not with other things.

Example:

The contribution of him per se would not make any progress for the project
